Wii Broken after THREE DAYS

[giantpinkbunnyhead]

Well I'm just LIVID. My Wii is only three damn days old and the thing is toast. All I did was download Bonk's Adventure via the WiiShop channel. Once the download completed, I lost all functionality from any and all remotes and controllers. I have four remotes and NONE WORK anymore. I tried sync-ing all four of them, and none will sync. I tried unplugging the power cord to the console. No dice. My system is completely and totally unresponsive to every friggin thing I can think of. The LED's on the remotes flash three times in response to ANY button push. There is no indication whatsoever that my console knows the remotes exist.

Of course, Nintendo's wonderful tech support isn't 24/7 so I can't even start fixing this til tomorrow. And it's not like I can go to the store and exchange it with another 'cause there are none. What a let down. I would have been better off giving sony my money. Damn.

It's almost 4AM EST on a Friday night, and you're having a problem with your gaming console - just wait till they open up.

Also, if it's really this big of an issue, maybe the store will let you return it and you can just get another when they come back in stock?

Did you try pushing the sync button on both the wiimote and the one on the console? IE push the console sync button then the wiimote sync button?

Sounds like a software glitch.

Let us know how the fix goes.

And calm the fvck down.
